Delhi Capital signed a season of what could happen with a surprising win over Punjab Kings in Jaipur in match number 66 of IPL 2025.
This result has now allowed the breathing room to be able to finish in the top two on the numeral table for the other three playoff-worthy teams. In the decision to bowl Delhi Capital, the first dividend was paid when Mustafizur Rahman (3/33) got rid of Priyansh Arya quickly. Prabhasimran Singh and Josh Iglis got a significant start, but DC returned with Kuldeep Yadav and Vipraz Nigam in the mid -over.
Shreyas Iyer (53 for 34) took action like a rock until his dismissal brought the capitals to the game. Rahman took significant wickets on death, but Punjab got the 200 -run mark mainly due to Marcus Stoinis (44* 16 runs). Stoinis launched the left and right bowlers to decisively turn on a difficult entry point in favor of PBKS.
The chase of DC was not initially extraordinary. Both KL Rahul and FAF do Plessis began, but departed within seven balls of each other. IPL debutant Sedikullah Atal played Flash-in-the-PAN knock, but the main acts came from Karun Nair (27 runs to 44) and Sameer Rizvi (58* 25). The two brilliantly rejected the danger of Harpreet Brar in the middle over and took the spin completely down. With every passing, both were moving towards the target.
Once Nair was rejected by Barr (2/41), Rizvi took a perfectly served with limited limitations in important stages to take DC homes in the last over for consolation victory in his last match of the season.
